With their long operating range of up to 8m, the new M30 ultrasonic sensors from ifm are far and away the best solution for detecting distant objects, or for continuous level monitoring.

This exceptionally long sensing range is particularly suited to long-distance object detection. However the M30 sensors are also ideal for continuous level monitoring, for two reasons.

Firstly, as ultrasonic sensors, they are unaffected by colour, transparency or surface shine of the bulk materials or liquids being monitored. Secondly, their sound beam can be set individually according to the application, to avoid the faulty measurement results which can occur in limited spaces such as holding tanks for liquids, due to unwanted reflections. 

The adjustment to the width of the sound beam is easily made using IO-Link. There’s also a teach button to guide users through the process. 

Engineered with a high-grade stainless steel housing, the M30 also features a vibrating sound transducer, which reduces dirt deposition – making the ultrasonic sensor a robust solution as well as a long-range one.
